Artworks
This artwork explores human relationships through the psychological and emotional spaces that exist between people. The work attends to what remains unspoken—subtle tensions, pauses, and quiet exchanges that shape relational dynamics.
​
Rather than presenting explicit narratives, the work focuses on moments of ambiguity. These in-between spaces hold shared memories and unarticulated feelings, where emotions coexist in silence. Shaped by presence and absence, closeness and distance, the work reflects on what is felt but withheld, and on the fragile spaces where connection quietly unfolds.

Nowhere Home, 2024

This is part of the Home series, which reflects on the experience of living with an in-between identity shaped by migration. Informed by the artist’s background as a 1.5-generation immigrant who has lived across multiple continents, countries, and cities, the work explores the emotional landscape of displacement and belonging.
​
Rather than defining home as a fixed physical place, the work approaches it as a layered and personal concept—one that may signify family, memory, or emotional attachment. In this context, home emerges as a complex constellation of longing, loss, confinement, and stability. The process of searching for home is presented as an internal act of assembling fragmented emotions and memories, where imperfect connections and moments of dissonance are embraced as integral to the ongoing formation of identity.
